We believe the Bible is our final authority for
faith and practice. We teach the Bible and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit
in understanding it. While we do not subscribe to a formal creed, a summary of
our beliefs is contained in the Baptist Faith and Message 1963.

The Church

Our church is a local body of Christ under the Head of the
church, Jesus Christ. Our church has a congregational form of government under
a church constitution. This does not mean that we are democratic. We serve our
King and Lord Jesus Christ, but are convinced that the Holy Spirit dwells in
the heart of every believer, and that we hear God's guiding voice best as the
assembled body of believers. Business meetings are held quarterly. The
congregation is always asked to vote on the annual budget, any capital
expenditure beyond the budget, and the calling and terminating of pastoral
staff.
